Sixteen more counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct were filed against a Clinton man already facing 10 counts involving the alleged abuse of a girl last year. Daniel Terry Pitts, 33, was arraigned by video in Lenawee County District Court on Monday. He remains in the Lenawee County Jail in lieu of bonds totaling $520,000.

Pitts was arrested Jan. 4 on charges of sexually abusing a girl aged 13 to 16 in Clinton during December. Charges added Monday involve alleged abuse of the same girl from 2009 through 2012, while she was younger than 13. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Aug. 5.
